PUBLIC PROFILE

Arthur Boucaut Jones

Local Resident

Murraylands · SA

Capt. Bouc, teacher, River Master

I am a retired school principal and teacher/trainer/consultant on school camping and youth adventure education. I am very concerned about the current dropout rate of high school students, currently 24%.
As a contribution to helping dropout teens to stay in education during their transition years 15-18, I am working on creating a fleet of Houseboat style School ships working as "Cocoons' to reset the thinking of these dropout teens at risk.

Avoca trust

Aerie College and the associated DGR Trust Avoca trust plans to establish a fleet of school ships working the Murray to hold Teens aged 15-18 at risk of education dropout. The SA Law dictates that these young people are required to continue their education. Parents are at risk of a fine if their children drop out of school.

Distinguished and Famous people from Glenorchy

🏅 Peter Hudson

Peter Hudson’s football story includes a substantial Glenorchy chapter alongside his celebrated Hawthorn career. He played for and coached the club, helping deliver the 1975 premiership, its first for a decade. His Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame record credits him with 518 goals in 75 games for Glenorchy across several seasons. Even by the standards of a famous full-forward, that is a remarkable rate of return. Hudson was born at New Norfolk; Glenorchy’s claim is his direct contribution on the field and as a coach.
